The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion

Damian's consciousness slowly returned to the surface, and he opened his eyes, which were glowing with a violet hue.

His entire figure was covered in a purple aura that seeped in every direction like a string of snakes.

Raising his hand, Damian tightened his fist, feeling the incredible strength coursing through his skin, bones, and muscles.

Even in his blood, he could sense the overwhelming power.

He felt like he could do anything, free and almost invincible.

But more than that, foreign and unknown information flooded his mind, details about himself, his race, [True High Human], and the abilities that came with it.

"This should be quite useful," Damian murmured with a smile before summoning the system prompt to examine his talents and abilities, which had evolved alongside him when he ascended into a [True High Human].

"Hmm… a great power-up… I just had… I wonder if I can subdue the entire earth with my race now," Damian wondered as a new plan formed in his mind.

He intended to carry it out after finishing the war with the vampires.

However, now was not the time to think about such things.

The feeling of reaching a breakthrough was becoming clearer to him, and he honestly believed he could achieve it soon.

But as the [Path Finder Card] had advised, he planned to use the [Demon Dungeon Card] first before returning to [Thaerris] to carve his own path.

Shaking his head, Damian turned his attention back to the two High Humans standing on the other side of the pond, staring at him with wide eyes and mouths slightly agape in awe.

"You… evolved into a True High Human?" the male High Human asked.

"Mm… You still haven't introduced yourself," Damian said as he jumped and gracefully landed before the couple.

"...I'm Noah Ravenfang," the High Human said, then gestured toward the female High Human beside him.

"This is my wife, Cara Ravenfang."

"I'm Damian Ignatius," Damian replied and waved his hand dismissively. "Anyway, I'll be on my way then."

"Wait! Please, wait!" Noah interrupted before Damian could crush the brown card in his hand.

"What?" Damian asked.

"You are a True High Human. You should join our faction. Come with us to our world, Giarum," Noah suggested.

"No, thank you. I have no intention of joining another faction. I want to be the head and the king. If anything, you can join my faction," Damian said, crossing his arms.

He had already decided that he would rise through the ranks as the leader of his own faction.

After learning about the benefits of growing a faction, he was determined to make [The Circle of Ouroboros] the strongest faction in the tower.

Damian watched the couple's expressions shift slightly. He fully expected them to reject his offer.

"Fine," Noah said after exchanging a glance with Cara.

Much to Damian's surprise, they both nodded in agreement.

"Are you sure? Because I expect complete fealty from my faction members," Damian asked as he sent them the faction invitation.

"Yes… we are sure," Noah replied as both he and Cara accepted the invitation, officially becoming members of [The Circle of Ouroboros].

"...Alright then ...I'm still in the first tower realm, Solarta. I have a territory there. You can find a woman named Shiru. She'll explain everything to you," Damian said, smiling.

He had a feeling he knew why the couple had agreed to follow him.

They likely saw him as a great hope for continuing the lineage of High Humans and wanted to ensure it thrived.

And Damian was not a bad person; he wouldn't disrespect their beliefs.

After becoming a [True High Human] and gaining the racial trait [Crucial Sense], he could more accurately assess their power.

They were very powerful and would be a great addition to his faction.
